Massacres in Aleppo, Syria

For the people of Aleppo, their only hope is Syria’s security forces restoring order. In the pockets of Syria’s largest city the so-called “Free Syrian Army” (FSA) has dug into, a campaign of systematic detention, torture, and mass murder has been carried out against “enemies of the revolution.” Demonized as either “Shabiha” or “government supporters,” men have been rounded up, lined up against walls, and gunned down en mass. Others await barbaric “drumhead trials” where FSA warlords deal out arbitrary justice under the guise of “Sharia law.”

Worst of all, all of this is being reported by the Western media, but carefully downplayed, excused, spun, and otherwise sneaked through news cycles and headlines.

Reuters presented just such a report titled, “Rebels fill Aleppo power vacuum, some disapprove.” Judging from the title, one might assume residents in the “liberated” alleys of select Aleppo neighborhoods are simply dissatisfied with late garbage collection and perhaps broken street lights. The title is far from the blood curdling hysteria accompanying Western accounts (and fabrications) of Syrian security operations over the last year and a half.

However, what Reuters actually reports is indeed growing basement-dungeons full of “suspected Shabiha,” clear evidence of torture and abuse, as well as a growing number of summary executions and mass murder carried out before cameras and Western media in the streets.

The London Guardian likewise spins and downplays what are overt, ghoulish atrocities committed right on camera for the entire world to see. Russia Today covered one such massacre providing a graphic video depicting several bloodied men lined up against a wall and machine gunned to death, their bodies left in a tattered pile by FSA terrorists. RT leaves no doubt in the reader’s mind that what they just witnessed was a war crime.

The Guardian however, begins downplaying the brutal massacre with the headline, “Syria crisis: rebels ‘execute shabiha’ in Aleppo.” Already Guardian plays a role in shaping the potential reader’s perception, convicting the massacred victims as “Shabiha.” Scrolling down through a list of unverified accusations leveled against the Syrian government, one finds not an objective journalistic report of the massacre, but the justification provided by the FSA themselves, in a quote by Guardian’s FSA “contact” that includes the somber warning:

“Regarding the video of the shabiha killed by the FSA, as far as I know these shabiha are from the “Berri” clan in Aleppo. They have a long history of being pro-regime shabiha and they have been involved in a lot of killing in Aleppo.

The regime used to provide them with light weapons and knives and gather them in schools to go and launch their attacks against civilians. Just before they left one of the schools they were caught by the FSA and killed.

In this war in which we left alone to fight such a vicious regime, everything is possible and legitimate and as long as the international community keeps looking at Syria in such carelessness, you will see more of that and even worse.”

The Guardian not only excuses what was a massacre of civilians, but sows the ground for excusing war crimes that eclipse even this episode of barbarism. Unfortunately, the Guardian is not alone – this is a pattern that repeats itself throughout the Western media and signifies that as the military campaign winds down, the terror campaign is just beginning. US special interests’ promise to “bleed” Syria is manifesting itself before our eyes.

The FSA’s claims of everyone they round up, torture, and execute being “Shabiha” carry with them the familiar and horrifying ring of the term “African mercenaries” used to label black Libyans who were targeted by NATO-armed racist sectarian extremists also posing as “revolutionaries.” In the end, entire cities were emptied out of blacks (and here) who had for generations called Libya home. Refugee camps were then systematically targeted until Libya’s blacks were either dead, imprisoned or exiled beyond their homeland’s borders as part of a brutal genocidal campaign covered up by the Western media and downplayed by the West’s self-appointed global arbiters of human rights, namely Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.

While the West still to this day claims Libya’s blacks were “pro-Qaddafi,” Libya’s blacks had no choice but to fight NATO’s terrorists of Benghazi, as their complexions and creeds, not political affiliations, had marked them as intolerable and undesirable by NATO’s “liberators.”

Likewise, a similar campaign of sectarian driven genocide, predicted for years should the US, Israel, Saudi Arabia and others unleash Al Qaeda aligned death squads across the Levant to destabilize their geopolitical enemies, is unfolding, due in part to the complicity of the Western media.

Image: Christians in Syria have been particularly hit hard by what is being described as “ethnic cleansing,” not by Syrian security forces, but by NATO-backed death squads under the banner of the “Free Syrian Army.” The LA Times has been quietly reporting on the tragedy of Syria’s minorities at the hands of the Syrian rebels for months – and indicates that wider genocide will take place, just as it is now in Libya, should Syria’s government collapse under foreign pressure.

In 2007, in Hersh’s “The Redirection,” the following foreshadowing to the NATO and FSA’s unfolding genocidal rampage was given:

“Robert Baer, a former longtime C.I.A. agent in Lebanon, has been a severe critic of Hezbollah and has warned of its links to Iranian-sponsored terrorism. But now, he told me, “we’ve got Sunni Arabs preparing for cataclysmic conflict, and we will need somebody to protect the Christians in Lebanon. It used to be the French and the United States who would do it, and now it’s going to be Nasrallah and the Shiites” -The Redirection, Seymour Hersh (2007)

Now, demonstratively, we see exactly this feared onslaught manifesting itself in Syria, in particular against Christians as indicated in LA Times’ “Church fears ‘ethnic cleansing’ of Christians in Homs, Syria,” and more recently in USA Today’s distorted, but still telling, “Christians in Syria live in uneasy alliance with Assad, Alawites.” Even the massacre in Houla, seems to echo of this 2007 warning, bearing all the hallmarks of sectarian extremists like Al Qaeda.

With the Western press freely admitting that their “freedom fighting” FSA is lining up “suspected government supporters” and machine gunning them en mass, it seems the massacre the West feared would unfold in Aleppo has come to pass – only it wasn’t perpetrated by the Syrian government or its security forces, but rather by NATO and the Gulf State’s very own armed and coddled FSA terrorists.

As the West’s machinations implode upon themselves and shareholders begin hedging their bets and distancing themselves from possible culpability for egregious crimes against humanity, we must hope that global opposition reaches a critical mass, forcing the West to stand down and allowing the Syrian government to restore order across their nation-state. Until then, we as individuals must identify, boycott, and replace the corporate-financier interests driving this insidious conspiracy against humanity. While swatting mosquitoes seems to be the most immediate remedy at hand, draining the swamp from within which they flourish is the only way to solve this problem permanently.

Islam hater Cartalucci is whining over the execution of Assad’s Shabiha, murderers and rapists.
Assad;s slaughter of 17,000 Islamic people, unarmed people who defied the monster, did not stir Tony Cartalucci. His entire diatribe lacks the slightest evidence.
And those mercenaries of Qaddafi should not have been killed either. It was okay for Qaddafi to kill 1500 in Benghazi in three days.
The icing on the cake is the claim that the West is using “al-Qaida.” Wake up man, Muslims can think for themselves. Defining Muslims in this shameful way indicates Cartalucci’s extreme hatred of Muslims.
The army of Muhammad, pbuh, is coming Mr. Cartalucci. You’ll have a lot more whining to do.
The Ugly Truth is morphing into a blatant anti-Islam site.

–note from me, MG–Kaukab, you and I have known each other a long time and have worked together on several projects. I have spoken at your conferences, and you have spoken at mine. That you would now accuse me and my website of being ‘blatently anti-Islam’ I find not just disturbing but offensive. The readers here are 100% in support of the Islamic world freeing itself from Western/Zionist barbarism, which is exactly WHY we oppose the ‘arab revolutions’ taking place in the MENA.

You assertion that opposing these zionist-engineered revolutions somehow proves the readers here of being ‘anti-Islamic’ is akin to someone saying that it is un-american to be against the wars taking place in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.

I consider you a dear friend and a brother but in the interests of you not doing harm to your own good name and credibility, I council you not to leave comments such as the one above on this site again.

“The world revolution which we will experience will be exclusively our affair and will rest in our hands. This revolution will tighten the Jewish domination over all other people.” – Le Peuple Juif, February 8, 1919. “The governments of the peoples included in this world republic, with the aid of the victorious proletariat, all will fall without difficulty into Jewish hands. Private property will then
be strangled by the Jewish directors, who will administer the state patrimony everywhere. Thus the promise of the Talmud will be fulfilled, that is, the promise that the Jews, at the arrival of the Messiah, will possess the key to the wealth of all the peoples of the earth.” – Baruch Levy, in a letter to Karl Marx, published in the Rothschild controlled La Revue de Paris, June 1, 1928.

for the first time the westten media stood on muslim side,,i dont care about ur theories,,people r getting killed by assad and u freaks worry about anything small,,u have no hearts

–note from me, MG–It is comments such as this that make me seriously question whether there is any hope for the planet when it comes to reining in Jewish power.

Khalid–your own words BETRAY you naivete in this matter. The western (Jewish) media is NOT ON THE ‘MUSLIM’ SIDE.NEVER WAS, NEVER WILL BE. The fact that the western (Jewish) media is CHAMPIONING these ‘revolutions’ should tell you everything you need to know about who/what is behind all of it.

The Egyptian army on Monday promised to avenge the killing of 16 border guards in an assault the previous day near the border with occupied Palestine.

State news agency MENA cited a Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) as saying: “We swear in the name of God to avenge them.” “Egyptians will not have to wait long before they see a reaction to this attack by terrorists…Anyone liaising with these groups that have attacked our troops in the Sinai in recent months will pay dearly, be it inside Egypt or abroad,” the statement added.

President Mohamed Mursi vowed late on Sunday to retake control of the Sinai and boost Egypt’s security presence there.

The gunmen then crossed into the Zionist entity in an armored vehicle. The entity later said five gunmen were killed by tanks and helicopters.

Zionist top military spokesman, Yoav Mordechai, told army radio on Monday the gunmen were “members of the global jihad based in Sinai, which has become a hothouse for world terrorism because of the weak control exercised” by Cairo..

It seems that the Kurdish front is no more kept aside from the events in Syria, with fighting between Turkish soldiers and Kurdish fighters kills 19 on Sunday.

Officials said that clashes between Turkish soldiers and Kurdish fighters killed 19 people in the southeast of the country on Sunday.

Six soldiers, two village guards and 11 Kurdish rebels were killed following an overnight attack on an army post in a village in Hakkari province which borders Iraq, the governor Orhan Alimoglu said.
Another 15 soldiers were wounded.

The raid on the army post follows similar assaults in the Kurdish-dominated southeast which have prompted the army to launch an all-out offensive against Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) bases in the area.
The Turkish ground and air operation, one of the biggest in years, was launched about two weeks ago to drive out the rebels in the town of Semdinli, also in Hakkari province.

About 2,000 soldiers are involved in the offensive, private NTV television reported Sunday.
“A serious and strong operation is under way in Semdinli,” Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay said last week.

A British photographer who was captured by insurgents in Syria has said that his captors were foreign extremists including several Britons with “not a Syrian in sight”.

On July 19, freelance photographer John Cantile, alongside his Dutch colleague Jeroen Oerlemans, was kidnapped in northern Syrian and freed one week later.

Cantile said he was held in a camp by 30 foreign extremists including some from Britain and Pakistan. He also revealed that some of his captors were “young men with south London accents”.

“They were aiming their Kalashnikovs at a British journalist, Londoner against Londoner in a rocky landscape that looked like the Scottish Highlands”, said Cantile.

The British photographer also disclosed that some of the insurgents could not even speak Arabic, with around a dozen of his captors speaking English out of whom nine spoke with London accents.

“Not a Syrian in sight. This wasn’t what I had expected”, Cantile added. “Two of them were so Anglicised they couldn’t speak Arabic”.

Earlier last week, British Foreign Secretary William Hague promised to step up support for armed rebels in Syria while he had already insisted that Britain should be acting outside the UN Security Council.

Britain’s Foreign Office has confirmed that Cantile had been held captive in a camp in Syria but has refused to confirm that Britons were among the insurgents inside Syria.

Cartalucci is a disinfo author i agree with you on that, i also agree with you on the al qaeda myth surrounding syria at the moment. But lets not be naive both assad and gaddaffi are no angels but were right on once thing that these uprising are backed from the zionist west, we’re having foregin backed mercenaries commiting horrendous atrocities and then shouting allah hu akbar to further degrade the name of islam and muslims to the world. From your posts you seem like an intelligent man so how come the secular al jalili party won the elections? it was clear the NATO controlled war against Libya has succeeded and NATO will not allow libya to be free from its tyranny. Libya is the only country which didn’t follow the pattern which was voting in Islamic parties to power why is that because neither tunisa or egypt was a military war that nato interfered in they did in libya and now they rightly shout libya will be there’s for the next 40 years. Its time to wake up and smell the coffee until the sauds fall we’re not gonna see the independent arab nations that practice true islam.

Naeem, its only a matter of time. Qaddafi was a dictator for 42 years. Now Islamic people have started their work. Talk to me after a year. Look at the fight our people are putting up in Syria. What made you think people can give their lives for the West? Are you Iranian [Shi’a]? In Egypt, the people have shown they are for Islam. The army is yet to be defeated. Notice how restrained it has been? They know, if they attack the masses, the next choices after the Ikhwan are the students of Shaikh Umar and Dr. al-Zawahiri. Remember Muhammad Atta? He was Egyptian too. The revolution in Egypt will continue, inshallah. Notice Yemen? The Saudis are bombing the mujahideen. How come you are silent? Why are you hiding your pro-Iran angle?

STOP BRAGGING! The “army of Muhammad” is a bunch of primitive cowards!

“The Ugly Truth is morphing into a blatant anti-Islam site.”

I have never had the pleasure of knowing you, Kaukab Siddique, but this is what happens to some so-called Muslims when they drink too much brandy or are high on cannabis or drink too much Jewish Coca-Cola!

I do not know who that damn Tony Cartalucci is and I am not interested in what he writes!

We are right in the middle of a Jewish and Judeo-Christian dream come true – the conquest of Syria (AGAIN!) and the destruction of yet another Muslim country where Christians and Muslims have been living in peace and harmony for countless centuries.

BUT, TODAY ALL COMMUNITIES ARE BEING MANIPULATED BY THE WEST AND MOSSAD TO BELIEVE THE OTHER IS THE ENEMY AND TO CAUSE A CIVIL WAR INSIDE THE COUNTRY!

“Christians in Syria have been particularly hit hard” – THIS IS OF COURSE SHIT!

“by what is being described as “ethnic cleansing,” – ANOTHER PIECE OF SHIT AGAIN!

“not by Syrian security forces, but by NATO-backed death squads under the banner of the “Free Syrian Army.”

US, MOSSAD, UN AND NATO DEATH SQUADS HAVE BEEN OPERATING IN TOTAL FREEDOM FOR DECADES! This is not news, to me at least!

“The LA Times” – Who gives a damn about what the LA Times write?

“has been quietly reporting on the tragedy of Syria’s minorities at the hands of the Syrian rebels for months”

I read the same SHIT supposedly happening in all the countries targetted by the US, the west and Israel!

“– and indicates that wider genocide will take place, just as it is now in Libya, should Syria’s government collapse under foreign pressure.”

THIS IS JUST PROPAGANDA!

MASS MURDER HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN ALL MUSLIM COUNTRIES CARRIED OUT BY THE IMPERIALISTS – Russian, Western, Indian, Chinese, Israelist – NO MATTER WHAT.

Mark, these people who CONTINUE to spew this trash against Assad, even after what everyone saw happen to Libya, are beyond reaching. You, Brother Jonathan, Pastor Mark, and many others, have said REPEATEDLY what is happening, and its purpose, and these people simply want to believe what their poisoned-minds have convinced them is the “truth,” thanks to the demons walking-on-two-legs’ propaganda machines across the world.

If these fools are still lying to themselves about Brother Keith’s debate show among Imam al Asi, the “Iranian atheist,” and himself, they have made their decisions to support the demons walking-on-two-legs and no amount of proof of what is happening is going to change their indoctrination–because EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID TO PROVE OUR CASE HAS ALREADY BEEN SAID, AND ANYTHING MORE IS SIMPLY SUPER-SATURATION AS THE PROOF HAS ALREADY SATURATED THIS ISSUE.

I really do not have anything else to say except you, or Brother Jonathan, need to make-the-rounds on the other networks like GCN, RBN, and Oracle, debating sycophants of the demons walking-on-two-legs’ “uprisings” in Syria, and let it be known to those whose minds are NOT made-up the absolute truth of what has happened in the recent past, what is happening currently, and what all of this portends for the future of the human-race. I say to debate these shills because there is no greater way to prove that we are right than to deflect every point that these mouth-pieces for the demons walking-on-two-legs make, and then continually bring-up the truth as it is and force THEM to make a failed-effort to rationalize it all away to make their contention even SEEM plausible.

We are in far more danger as a species than the vast majority of humans realize, but YOU realize it, Brother Mark Glenn, because you care enough to spend many hours every day presenting the truth as it is to the ignorant-masses and well-educated, alike, but I know that it is dis-heartening to see people we believe to be on our side becoming our potential enemies because they are being snookered and hoodwinked by the demons walking-on-two-legs’ tricks and traps, and that is why this effort at having all of us come together to save ourselves is so damned difficult–too many people have too many agendas and too many beliefs that are simply delusions that in-order for the truth as it is to be fully-accepted, these human-beings would have to change many things on many levels in their minds to accept the scale of the treachery that has been committed against us all.

To simplify my point, these poor souls want so badly to believe that the “rebels” fighting in these various nations are doing so to “liberate the people from tyrants” that they simply have LITERALLY DELUDED THEMSELVES INTO BELIEVING THE DEMONS WALKING-ON-TWO-LEGS’ MACHINES OF MEDIA AND POLITICS, INSTEAD OF RELYING ON THEIR GOD-GIVEN COMMON-SENSE AND LOGIC THAT YOU AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN SHARING HERE, ON PRESSTV, AND ELSE-WHERE. In their attempt at rationalizing the destruction of Libya, and the attempted destruction of Syria, these dupes are saying that the people are fighting and dying for “freedom,” and that the DESTRUCTION IS THE RESULT OF THE CURRENT LEADER(S) BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ALLOWING THE “REBELS”–DEMONS WALKING-ON-TWO-LEGS–TO TAKE-OVER THE NATION-IN-QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder how many people whom we BELIEVE to be on our side are truly on the side of the demons walking-on-two-legs due to this mental-break? This is a very serious situation, ladies and gentlemen, that MUST be addressed as soon as is possible.

“have been biting my tongue, until now.. just want to say a big thankyou to BAFS, for giving the anti-Syria, anti-Libya, traitors, kaukab siddique, and deathless, the tongue lashing they desrve..”

For this I have the best available weapon possible – the whip Jesus used with the money changers. But, I better not brag about it as I know how poor Jesus ended at 33! I have been playing with fire for quite a long time, but managed to survive double that age!

“Look at the fight our people are putting up in Syria. What made you think people can give their lives for the West? Are you Iranian [Shi’a]?” No im a sunni but you should be on the side of haqq even if its goes against you, i never said the protests were fake but the uprsing has been hijacked explain to me why would al jazeera(QATAR) and al arabiaya(SAUDIA) be soo pro revolution knowing that their next unless the syrian MB is in their pocket. I”n Egypt, the people have shown they are for Islam. The army is yet to be defeated. “Notice how restrained it has been? They know, if they attack the masses, the next choices after the Ikhwan are the students of Shaikh Umar and Dr. al-Zawahiri. Remember Muhammad Atta He was Egyptian too?” now your telling me about al qaeda the myth organistan that has been used to kill muslims in the millions. i agree egypt is for islam. .”Notice Yemen? The Saudis are bombing the mujahideen. How come you are silent?” well im not silent the uglytruth never really publishes those articles and by the way you know the Houthi’s (SHIA) are being bombed by the sauds. A sunni-shia war will destroy the entire ummah and we will never be the same even if your anti shia you should never wish for such a war.

And if you’re not careful, they will call you an ally of Iran… seeing as how Iran (mainly Shia) is the only nation that has successfully kicked out the demons (two legged or otherwise). Unlike the others, who provide bases, etc for the demons to use to conquer and tyrannize.

Human beings will ALWAYS be divided… for most of them love this disgusting satanic world (mammon) far more than they love God (justice).

Just wanted to say that a lot of ignorant Muslims, usually sectarian have completely fallen for the NATO/Zionist propoganda hook line and sinker. While some of them are deluded, most of them are extremely sectarian.

That is why even on this site there are a few ignorant Muslims who still buy into the propoganda.
Totally agree with Pro Gentike’s characterization of some extremely sectarian Muslims, which is an unfortunate reality.

Really aprreciate Basheer, Ingrid B, Lindsey, Naeem, Mark Glen and other commentators who gave a most fitting response!

STILL WAITING FOR THE PUBLIC APOLOGY!

Islam and Politics
Written by Imran N Hosein

We are about to witness what we long anticipated, to wit: a Turkish-led NATO attack on Syria to remove the present Syrian regime and replace it, Libyan-style, with another so-called Islamic regime. How else will Israel be able to claim that a ‘rising Islam’ now menaces that country, and that Israel is being surrounded by that menacing Islam and must wage pre-emptive war in order to survive? How else will Israel be able to replace USA as the next ruling State in the world unless she wages great wars – particularly against her Arab neighbors who surround the Zionist State?
Turkey’s pro-NATO and hence pro-Zionist Government seems about to commit the ultimate act of foolishness in claiming the shooting-down of a Turkish warplane by Syria as causus bellum that justifies a Turkish military invasion of Syria. Such a Turkish military invasion of Syria would of course, have nothing to do with avenging the loss of an airplane and two pilots. Rather, it would have nothing less than Syrian regime-change as its primary objective.

That military adventure would be an act of supreme foolishness for the following reasons:
1. Syria has been on a high alert for some time now expecting external intervention (Libyan-style) in support of a Zionist-engineered armed insurrection that has so far failed to take-over the country. A Turkish warplane that enters into Syrian airspace cannot expect, in such circumstances, to be treated as an innocent intruder.

2. If Russia and China respond to a Turkish military invasion of Syria by coming to the support of that country, that will eventually provoke the Malhama (great war) prophesied by Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam). That Malhama will be so great that it will make the first and second world-wars look like a fight over peanuts.

3. The Turkish government should remember that the Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) also prophesied that the Malhama or great war will lead to the conquest of Constantinople. It should not take Turkish Muslims long to realize that the 1453 conquest of Constantinople by Sultan Muhammad Fatih had nothing to do with the prophecy. Turkish Muslims will then wake up to the monstrous betrayal of their pro-Zionist government and prepare for the civil war that will fulfill the prophecy.
4. Thus a Turkish military invasion of Syria will eventually lead to Turkish civil war and to the liberation of the city of Constantinople from NATO’s venomous control.

5. Since Russia will inevitably enter in the war in defense of Syria, the Turkish military invasion of that country will lead to yet another prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) being fulfilled, to wit: “that you (Muslims) will make an alliance with Rum (pronounced as ‘room’).” Rum in the Qur’an referred to the Eastern Christian Byzantine Empire. But after Constantinople was conquered in 1453, the capital city of Rum eventually became Moscow.
This statement is issued to so guide Muslims that they may not be brainwashed by Protestant Islam’s Zionist Jihad, and by the inevitable CNN/Al-Jazeerah-led propaganda barrage that will now inundate mankind.
